The First Day of fall has arrived! Today we were learning a little bit about the change of seasons and what we can expect in the upcoming months. Along with reading Leaves, Leaves, Leaves! and talking about how nature changes during the fall, we also discussed our favourite holidays and some upcoming birthdays. Students then wrote in their journal about their favourite, or least liked, changes in the season!
In Math, we have also been incorporating music into creating our repeating patterns.

We created a pattern, then made the pattern again using Google Music Lab to show how our patterns could sound:
The next day, we pulled out some instruments and the students had the opportunity to conduct their patterns to the class - giving each student a colour / shape to correspond to what they were going to play.1/2 did you know that you can make patterns with music? #googlemusiclab @McHughEduCentre pic.twitter.com/XsVKrSJnPi— Kevin Ledlow (@KLedlow_ocsb) September 21, 2016

The students have had a lot of fun making and playing their repeating patterns. Now to dig into some growing and shrinking patterns!
